🎃 𝐇𝐄𝐄𝐄𝐄𝐑𝐑𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐄𝐄’𝐒 𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐎𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐄𝐄𝐍!!! 🪦✨ My contributor copy of The Paper Cult’s 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥 has arrived just in time for our favorite holiday! 💀 Y’all, this issue is a steroid shot of Halloween nostalgia straight to my cold, dead heart… bringing my corpse back clawing from its grave. 𝐈𝐓’𝐒 𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐕𝐄! ⚡️

🕯️✍🏼 Horror writing isn’t always about finding the darkness or creating the monsters. Sometimes, they’re already there. Our job is to shine a light into the shadows and catch what moves with our blackened ink. 🔦💀 Please enjoy these lines *without context* of my current WIPs! 🖤🥜

Y’all! Y’ALL!! My contributor copy of Smitten Land: Televangelism is here!! 🔥 The Laughing Man House has curated some incredible (and unholy) talent for this issue! 🙏🏼 Read my story “Bury The Tithes, Burn The Tares” among these religious tales of terror. 🖤🥜 #horrorauthor #published #religioushorror

𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗢𝗞𝗬 𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗜𝗘𝗦! 💀 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹 is a cover-to-cover tribute to Halloween, brimming with haunting tales and wickedly talented artists. I’m thrilled to share my story 𝘐𝘛 𝘞𝘖𝘕’𝘛 𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘌 𝘖𝘍𝘍 among them! This curation is sure to fright, excite, and delight your strange and wonderful blackened hearts. 🖤

✨ New Publication ✨ Thrilled to share my short story ‘Bury The Tares, Burn The Tithes’ is out now in Smitten Land: Televangelism! Huge thanks to The Laughingman House for including my work in their latest issue of religious horror. 📺💀 #religioushorror #amwriting #southerngothic #published

🖤 My start of September offerings 🍂 opening lines from selected short stories. Which jar will you pull from the shelf? What first line draws you in? Be warned: it’s not always wise to get lost in the mind of a madwoman. ✍🏼🕸️

🖤 New Publication 🖤 My story, GOD, BLESS YOU, is published in The Medley by Hansraj College, University of Delhi. The theme, #Daag —a stain or mark of disgrace—for me, meant a return to plaid skirts, morning prayers, and quiet rituals of #confession and #communion. 🕊️ themedley.in/issues/10/go...

🖤 On-Submission Sunday 🖤 Much of my writing is inspired by motherhood—the traumas of childbirth, the oppressions and expectations and lactations that come with the title. Horror is nothing, if not a way to personify trauma—a way to place a fightable face against our indefinable fears. 🖤🥜

🖤 WIP Wednesday! 🖤 Enjoy some lines from my current projects with no context. The slow unwinding southern summer has grown deep roots into my creative process lately. 🍃🪦✍🏼 #wipwednesday #amwri̇ti̇ng #southerngothic #horrorpublisher #horrorcommunity #published

💀🌛IT’S SUMMERWEEN!🌞🎃 I am elated to be featured in GWZ’s 30th issue: The Midnight Hour! 🖤🥜 There’s nothing quite like the chill that tingles your spine when the moon is high, the cicadas scream, and the campfire flickers—at the Midnight Hour. This issue will keep you up until the sun rises! ⏳💀

Today is the official release of The S&L #4— and the completion of the set of four we'd originally funded! With it, we celebrate how much we've learned and all the excellent artists and readers who made it possible. Congratulations, team. They're perfect.🖤💀 store.tenebrouspress.com/collections/...

👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️• There is nothing to celebrate when millions of people are about to lose healthcare and snap benefits and when h*locaust-esque detention camps are being built with political figures joking about feeding immigrants to alligators. It is sickening to be an *merican. #wakeupandopenyoureyes

SNEAK PEEK: These are the opening lines to one of my upcoming publications. I can’t wait to share this story with you all very soon! 🙏🏼🍷🤧 #amwriting #author #shortstories #religion #southerngothic #publication

spookychris.com/2025/05/16/t... Chris Ringler and I think about and talk about inspiration, and what turns the wheels that make the work.

Works in progress! ✍🏼🪦🌨️🐄🍃 My work sprawls across the horror genre like blood seeping into white bedsheets—psychological, character-driven, and raw. From slashers to slow creeps, I aim to unnerve. And I can’t wait to keep you up at night. Here’s a sneak peek: #amwriting #WIP #horrorwriter #WiHW

Who's up for some fringe occult medical research at the Bannican Institute today?! @goresorcerer.bsky.social has cited An Axis of Perdition's music as an influence on PUPPET'S BANQUET; but for whatever reason I hear Ethel Cain's Perverts when I'm reading it. How about you? store.tenebrouspress.com

Hey ya’ll!” I’m Leanna Riley, an emerging writer in the pursuit of authorship. Like fresh meat— I’m raw, unseasoned, and unpublished. At the altar of a new religion, my arms are wide for advice and wisdom. In the meantime I continue to lurk and learn. Here’s to a new year filled with new stories!
